Summary:
New Scientist reports researchers at Harvard and MIT have created a biodegradable patch containing stem cells that could repair damaged hearts:
"A biodegradable honeycomb laced with stem cells could help broken hearts mend themselves. The polymer patch could one day lay down a pathway in areas damaged by heart disease for cells to regenerate and regrow, while the mesh itself slowly disintegrates within the body."
